Run Server/API V2 via docker-compose

[felipe-vallim]

Hello Cal.com community!

I'm a backend developer and started learning about Cal.com in order to integrate it with my service.
I've seen the official docker image, and am currently including Cal.com in my docker-compose file in order to provide a testing environment for my application and the necessary services.

I was wondering if there is further configuration needed in order to use the API V2 or exposing the port 5555 (which is the default port on the .env file for the NEXT_PUBLIC_API_V2_URL variable) on my container is enough.

Thanks in advance for the help, your product looks really good, looking forward to using it!

To run the API V2 via Docker and expose it on port 5555, you need to ensure that your docker-compose file is configured to map the container's port to your host machine. Here’s a general approach:

1. Expose Port 5555: In your docker-compose.yml, make sure to map the container port 5555 to the host port 5555. It should look something like this:

   services:
     api-v2:
       image: your-api-v2-image
       ports:
         - "5555:5555"
       environment:
         - NEXT_PUBLIC_API_V2_URL=http://localhost:5555
       # other configurations...

2. Environment Variables: Ensure that all necessary environment variables are set correctly in your .env file or directly in the docker-compose.yml under the environment section. This includes NEXT_PUBLIC_API_V2_URL set to http://localhost:5555.

3. Network Configuration: If your services need to communicate with each other, ensure they are on the same Docker network.

This setup should allow you to access the API V2 on port 5555. If you encounter any issues, double-check your environment variables and network settings.
